Hi Everybody!
We were able to enjoy another warm and sunny day today. I was woken up early at 4.30 by birds singing in the tree outside with an incredible volume. I nurture these birds with seed and fat balls, and that's the way they show their gratitude! Anyway, tomorrow (Saturday) is supposed to be cold and windy, so perhaps they will sleep a bit longer!
For Art Journal journey, favourite poem or quote, and for Moo Mania and More, I have made another journal page. I used the other half of the background made recently with brushos and Gelatos for my 'Little Prince' journal page. The stamp with the apple blossom fairies is one I got as a present many years back and have never yet used, shame on me. I used several stencils to add some depth to the background, and stamped a sun using colorbox ink and a stamp from Hein Design. The blossom fairies were stamped with archival black and embossed with EP extra fine. I painted them with Gelatos, taking the colour up with a water-brush, a quick and easy way to paint. I added some Stickles to the wings. The quote is from James Shirley. I am also linking to Stamps and Stencils, anything goes.
The trees are all blossoming just now:
This wonderful magnolia tree and the statue are in the garden of the Marien Hospital here:
The herons were walking around the fields along the Rhine picking out moles:
And the swans were still bobbling along at their favourite spot on the river.
Have a great weekend, whatever the weather!
Take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
My friend, the blossoms are gorgeous and I will 'borrow' another lovely photo if I may and love your quote, colours and your design, it's all brilliant...xxx{aNNie My Personal Blog}
